Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents arrested 17 illegal aliens in the Canal area of San Rafael on Thursday. According to the pro-illegal
Marin Independent Journal, three had failed to comply with deportation orders, another had illegally reentered the country after an earlier deportation. Regardless, all of whom broke our immigration laws and illegally entered this nation.
Reminiscent of last years ICE raids, the bleeding heart liberals of Marin who aid and abet this lawbreaking reacted with outrage towards the federal agents sworn to enforce immigration law.
Lynn Woolsey, the North Bay's poor excuse for a representative in Washington, was "sad to see the children traumatized again. Due process was not made for those children. They need to realize they are dealing with human beings."
True to form for Lynn Woolsey, she always takes the side of the criminal, whether it be the
rapist of a 17 year old Terra Linda girl,
Mumia abu Jamal or
detained al-Queda terrorists.
Then there's the hysterical Tom Wilson of the Canal Alliance, an organization which aids illegal aliens in the Canal, who compares ICE agents to terrorists, "It's like an assault," Wilson told the IJ, "These people are terrified...They are taking parents of citizen children. Most people are just dealing with the shock and the loss and trying to find their loved ones."
In typical knee-jerk fashion, Marin County Leftists like "Jimmy Injustice" Geraghty call anyone posting on the IJ Comments section who supports enforcement of immigration law "racist" or compare them to Ku Klux Klan members.
All we need next is the far Left Marin County Supervisor from Mill Valley, Charles McGlashan, to compare ICE agents to Nazis, as he did last year.
The question is, what part of illegal don't these people understand? What's next? Are we terrorizing bank robbers for arresting them?
As always with the Left, this is an emotional issue for these people instead of a rational one. It has nothing to do with race, except if you're an America hating Leftist who screams "racism" every time the government does their job. A nation that does not control its borders allows anarchy, and that leads to the downfall of a nation.
The destruction of America? No wonder these Leftists support open borders.
Then there's the fallacious issue of labor. Who gets hurt in the end? Poor blacks, whites and others who don't take a job not because it's work they won't do, but because the influx of illegal aliens has driven down wages and taken these jobs from them. Everytime I hear these wealthy Marin liberals say "who mows your lawns or cleans your bathroom," I say "you've got two arms, clean your own damn toilet. Make your teenage son go mow the lawn instead of going to Northgate Mall." It's called work and it builds character, which is hard for a liberal kid from Tiburon armed with a trust fund and a BMW to understand.
Also, how many of these people really want to be US citizens? Look at this video from
North Bay Minutemen, who counter-protested the May Day Illegal Alien march in Santa Rosa. I see more Mexican flags in this parade than I do American.
In all these issues brought up by the illegal alien abetting Left (and some on the pro-business Right) there's a huge dose of hypocrisy.
Mrs. M.I.M. and I come from different ends of the political spectrum. Yet the issue of illegal aliens is one issue we both agree on. In our discussions on this topic, she's made two brilliant observations on illegal alien supporters.
"Many of these people are always the ones saying "US out of Iraq" or "US out of this place," she said. "Yet when it comes to illegal aliens, they want us to take care of all of them. Isn't that hypocritical?" She also observed a couple of years ago that the real racism comes from open borders supporters who use the phase "they do the jobs no one else will do" to rationalize the breaking of immigration law.
There's a real disconnect between the silent majority of Americans, both Democrats and Republicans, who want our immigration laws enforced and the politicians on both sides who want cheap labor and cheap votes. Even in the IJ poll, 60% of respondents (as if 1:56 pm EDT today) want
more arrests (not fewer) of illegal immigrants.
If that's the case, these people need to go out to the polls, throw out illegal alien abettors like Woolsey, the Marin County Board of Stupidvisors, Al Boro and elect leaders who will get tough in enforcing immigration law.
